About this experience
Why join a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all tour with strangers when there is a better option? Explore The Getty privately. Skip the scripted commentary. Our tours are led by museum‑trained specialists—any day and time during Museum hours.
Enjoy an inspiring, conversational experience with Quick Culture. You will be awed by the stories of the "must-sees" and get a peek beyond the canvas that will spark your curiosity. Choose your tour length --- from a focused 90‑minute experience to an in‑depth 2.5‑hour exploration.
Great for solo visitors, couples, families, groups and corporate teams - anyone who prefers a customized experience instead of a one‑size‑fits‑all group tour.
The Getty opens the door; Quick Culture guides the journey. From da Vinci to van Gogh, they turn a simple visit into something unexpectedly fascinating. This private experience is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, financial firms, and VIP clients who value accuracy, insight, and a meaningful connection to the art.
